These leafy avenues wind through a landscape of solid, well-maintained homes, many with verandahs that seem to breathe in the afternoon sun. The air, especially after a rain shower, carries the clean scent of damp earth and the subtle sweetness of suburban gardens, a quiet symphony of suburban life unfolding at its own measured pace.
